I have a lot of guy friends who usually (read ALWAYS) complain about the contradictory things women say. I will, in my humble attempt to demystify women, just a little bit. What you need to understand is women may say things when they mean just the opposite and they’ll expect you to get it. On top of that, they’ll be deeply injured that you couldn’t read their deepest darkest desires. I know its messed up, but if were easy to understand, guys wouldn’t have put in any effort right?
Lets start with the basics, What women say:
Nothing: It’s a dangerous word. If your lady says “nothing’s wrong”, know that something is drastically wrong. She wants to talk about it, but she doesn’t want you think she’s bothering you. She’s hoping it will die down or that you’ll understand what it is without her talking about it
Forget it: another potentially dangerous. In my opinion, its worse than “nothing.” Forget it implies that she thinks you’ll never understand the problem and she’s wasting her breath on trying to make you understand it. Don’t “forget it” when she says it. It means she’s dying to have a out and out war over it, but doesn’t think it’s worth the effort.
Someday: I don’t know if any other girl uses this word as often as I do. But I use this when I don’t want to commit. I’ll give you an example, supposing you ask me to maybe write you a love letter(pansy I know, but I would personally love to receive one
), I’ll say someday, even though I really want to. Why? Because I’m don’t want to do too much for you and then watch you walk out of my life.
Never mind: Similar to “forget it”, but a little softer in tone. Never mind is the equivalent of saying – gah! I wish you’d understand but screw it, there are other things we could be doing or talking about.
You don’t have to: This one is funny because if she says “you don’t have to”, she really wants you do it. She just wants to protect her ego and pride and not make it seem like she wants you to do it. Just do it, please? If you like her, you can do some things for her occasionally, can’t you?
I don’t know, what do you think: Maybe not so common, but an important one. When a girl says “I don’t know”, you could be confusing her about something or stressing her out about something. Or maybe she just wants you to take the lead and decide.
It’s nice: If you gave her something and she says “Its nice”, in all probability, she hates it. Be a sport, buy her something she can exchange..
It’s okay: If you’ve just apologized to her, and she says “its okay”, it probably not but she’s willing to let it pass.
I don’t care anymore: She really does, she’s just supremely upset about something and she just wants to show you that you don’t hold any power over her.
Basically, I think you should be listening to a woman’s tone rather than what she says. Women say a million things with their eyes, they can convey hurt, love, hope, sadness. When you learn to speak her language without saying a word, you can say that you truly understand a woman
